See me see trouble ooo, I just replaced the fuel pump of my 1996 Accord with Toyota/ Lexus fuel pump which the guy claimed is the best and I drove it for just three days and the engine did not start again. Now I was told the new pump is bad. Please what is the cause ? Or should I just buy tokunbo?

I just saw a product in the market
Mobil 2000 5w30
Its semi synthetic and the distributor is selling at a retail price of #5000
He claims the demand is growing because Mobil 1 is too expensive.
Does anyone know about this Mobil product in Nigeria.
It hasn't been discussed on NL.

Don't. Do. It. Semi-synthetic is garbage

Hello house, Should I change my engine oil to the recommended oil - 5w20 now?
I bought the car, Honda pilot and took it to one of the mobile filling station at.Lagos to service the engine as indicated on the dashboard. That was on August this year.
There they convinced me to use mobile 1000 20w-50 even when I told them that it is 5w20 that is written on the engine cover. They said 5w20 is for American weather but in Nigeria this is what everyone is using expect I want to waste my money. And as a novice, I believed them and they used the 20w50 to service it.
But since i started following this forum, I've been reading that it's dangerous to go against the recommended oil. That if one want to have healthy engine, he/she should maintain the car recommended oil.
My question is:
1. Should I flush out the 20w50 oil that is currently in the engine now and change to the 5w20 as recommended? Or wait during the next service to change it? Any danger leaving it as it is now?
2. Where can I get the original 5w20 oil in Lagos and do the services? Also what's the current price? What I sensed later about that mobile filling station is that they didn't have the 5w20 in stock and so they convinced me to use the alternative instead.
Pls I need genuine advice and recommendation.
Thanks
Drain and replace

Belated post, but a glowing review anyways.


Earlier this month, my vehicle arrived at radautoworks's facility for routine diagnosis, servicing and some repairs.


This was done promptly at a very competitive price....a few logistics relates hiccups on my part notwithstanding.

The facility itself is well equipped and light years away from the usual Nigerian autoshop. Seems like they've stuck the perfect balance as they offer real value for the bucks demanded.


MadamRadu on her part was very friendly and kind.


Keep it up ma'am and get even better.
Thank you so much for the review... I'm embarrassed to say I don't know which one your car was embarassed

"I rAceD OnE eS330."

But did the ES330 race you?
ES330 driver would probably be like "Huh, why's that guy suddenly throttling hard and driving aggressively?"

But then again, Logobenz actually claims to have beaten an FX35 with his supercharged peak milk can, so there's precedence. grin

Pls house, where can I get original 5w20 engine oil. That's the recommended oil for my Honda pilot 2008. I just bought it toks few months ago.
Unfortunately, I went to service the engine to one mobile filling station in Lagos and they convinced me to use mobile 20w50 against the recommended oil ie 5w20. That was on August this year. So the oil that's in the engine currently is 20w50. I'm afraid it may damage the engine based what I have read.
So, I want to revert to 5w20. Should go ahead and change it now or wait till next service?
Pls where can I get original 5w20 oil and do the service? How much is the price?

Car Talk › Re: Update: issue with Autoelectng resolved by radautoworks:
There are two sides to every story. Yes, AutoElect should come and address this but this is an issue still going to court and he had to be careful what he says. Yes he didn't fix the car but there is more to this story and it is not my own to tell. That being said, he is not one to run away from his debts. There will be an update in the future on this.

GidiWoodsMan:
But why is it that uber allows the driver to see rider destination before accepting a trip in other countries, except for Nigeria.

Why do they deliberately take advantage of certain negative peculiarities of the Nigerian business environment to shortchange their driver-partners?
That's not accurate
